Automate credit risk research in Windsurf
Windsurf can now query internal data structures against live Moody's ratings. When you run a task, Cascade uses `search_entities` to find the correct organization and follows up with `get_issuer_details` to pull the underlying risk profile. This removes the need to manually browse external financial databases. Your agent handles the lookups while you focus on the logic of your financial model.
Monitor rating shifts with this MCP Server
Keep your local datasets current by polling `list_rating_actions` for the latest market updates. Windsurf triggers these calls automatically to ensure your application reflects the most recent credit shifts. It handles the sequence of data retrieval without waiting for your input. The result is a system that stays synced with institutional data feeds without constant manual intervention.
Map rating symbols to definitions
Stop guessing what a specific credit grade means by using `get_rating_reference` to translate symbols into clear, actionable text. Windsurf resolves these definitions on the fly whenever you retrieve ratings. This creates a consistent reference layer for your code. You get the raw rating from `list_issuer_ratings` and the human-readable context in one clean process.
